La Princesa Blanca

This mini series would have been better if they had used the same actors from the mini series The White Queen to play their parts in this mini series! What would have been the reason to use an entire new cast of actors?

I normally wouldn't write a review for this, but seeing so many negative reviews I felt compelled to. So many of those reviews are about how The White Queen was great and this didn't live up to it, but I feel the compete opposite. I found The White Queen rather boring and frankly just hard to even get through. I thought The White Princess was much better and although only filmed several years after, it has a much more modern feel to it, as far as production quality goes. I can't speak to the historical accuracy, but I really liked the storyline. To be fair, I am a big Jodie Comer fan, so I'm definitely a little biased, but I thoroughly enjoyed The White Princess a lot.

... get past the first episode, and it's worth it. The first episode was corny, and all the actors being different from TWQ made it seem awkward. I did not like the Princess Elizabeth they cast for this show for a couple of episodes, but after finishing the series, I really admire the actress. Dowager Queen Elizabeth cast in this series does not hold a candle to the Dowager Queen Elizabeth in TWQ.

Minus one star for fumble of a pilot; minus one star for Dowager Queen Elizabeth. They definitely should have brought back the original actress. The only original actor from the original series is Duchess Cecily, King Edward's grumpy Lady Mother.

It is *not* The White Queen, but it's still a good series. Just a corny pilot. I promise, the acting improves 100%.

I started to watch this after viewing the Spanish princess in hindsight would probably storywise been better the other way round . This is by no means a great representation of an accurate historical drama and in honesty there is a lot simlair both in production and setting as the Spanish princess to the point I must look up writers and location to see if they are the same.

The biggest difference in this production is the actors who for me are far superior and better suited than those of the Spanish princess which makes the series a lot more enjoyable a watch. Jodie Comer surprised me of how good she was in a period drama .

This and White Queen are wonderfully written and luckily acted by some superb and strong women actors. That being said they screwed with history (especially the White Queen) and it sells the women of history short. They do give you a pretty good picture of how Henry the VII and Elizabeth(Lizzie) of York felt about each other later in the show but during the first of the show is not anywhere near facts.

Both movies does a great disservice to Lady Margaret Beaufort and it is a shame. Besides showing how much she loved her son pretty much nothing else is factual.

But it is a movie and like 99% of historical movies/series you must suspend beliefs and you can throughly enjoy them.
